Late one evening, Jayasree, who had recently been diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s, got up in her nightdress and went to make tea at her home in India. After she returned to her bedroom, Chadalavada went into the kitchen to find that his grandmother had left the gas on! Chadalavada decided to invent a wearable device to help people like his grandmother. Now aged 17, Chadalavada is ready to start making the Alpha Monitor. The device, which can be worn as an armband, sets off an alarm when the wearer with Alzheimer’s starts to move and warns a caregiver if the patient falls or wanders off. Most similar devices run on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so when a person moves out of their frequencies’ limited range the connection is lost and with it the monitoring. But the Alpha Monitor can detect a person more than a mile away in cities and three miles in the countryside thanks to the long-range technology, known as LoRa, it uses. Teaching himself with YouTube videos about robotics and electronics, Chadalavada has developed several prototypes (模型). To understand the needs of people with Alzheimer’s, he spent time in a day centre run by the Alzheimer’s and Related Disorders Society of India. There, the cofounder told him that the device “had to be something light that can be worn on any part of the body”. She says: “Many patients don’t like having to wear a watch and they take it off.” In March, when Chadalavada’s school exams are over, he will put the finishing touches to the monitor, with the aim of getting the device ready for market by September. He is confident that it should be sold at an affordable price for most people. Chadalavada hopes to study robotics at a university abroad. His aim is simple: “I want to create products to help people in India for the whole world.” 1. Why did Chadalavada invent the Alpha Monitor? A. To treat Alzheimer’s. B. To entertain senior citizens. C. To improve Alzheimer’s caregiving. D. To ensure fire safety at the elderly’s homes. 2. What is an advantage of the Alpha Monitor? A. It is more comfortable to wear. B. It has a longer service time. C. It offers a remoter monitoring. D. It uses higher frequency controls. 3. What did Chadalavada want to explore while he spent time in a day centre? A. Where his invention could be polished. B. What people with Alzheimer’s felt like. C. How Alzheimer’s disease could be cured. D. Whether his invention would be profitable. 4. What can we learn about Chadalavada from the text? A. He enjoys living simply. B. He has an innovative mind. C. He used to be a health worker. D. He longs to be a robotics professor. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. A 4. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述的是Chadalavada研发了Alpha Monitor来帮助监控老年痴呆症病人。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Late one evening, Jayasree, who had recently been diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s, got up in her nightdress and went to make tea at her home in India.(一天深夜，刚刚被诊断出患有阿尔茨海默症的贾亚斯里穿着睡衣起床，去印度的家中泡茶。)”和第二段“Chadalavada decided to invent a wearable device to help people like his grandmother. Now aged 17, Chadalavada is ready to start making the Alpha Monitor.(Chadalavada决定发明一种可穿戴设备来帮助像他祖母这样的人。现在，17岁的Chadalavada已经准备好开始制作Alpha Monitor了。)”可知，Chadalavada要发明Alpha Monitor是为了改善老年痴呆症的护理。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But the Alpha Monitor can detect a person more than a mile away in cities and three miles in the countryside thanks to the long-range technology, known as LoRa, it uses.(但由于使用了LoRa远程技术，在城市里Alpha Monitor可以在一英里探测到一个人，在农村能探测到三英里以外)”可知，Alpha Monitor的优点是它提供了较远的监测。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“To understand the needs of people with Alzheimer’s, he spent time in a day centre run by the Alzheimer’s and Related Disorders Society of India.(为了了解阿尔茨海默氏症患者的需求，他在印度阿尔茨海默氏症及相关疾病协会经营的日间中心度过了一段时间。)”和倒数第二段“In March, when Chadalavada’s school exams are over, he will put the finishing touches to the monitor, with the aim of getting the device ready for market by September.(今年3月，当Chadalavada的学校考试结束时，他将对监视器进行最后的修改，目标是在9月之前将该设备推向市场。)”可知，Chadalavada在日托中心想要探索他的发明的什么地方可以被改进，故选A。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Now aged 17, Chadalavada is ready to start making the Alpha Monitor.(现在，17岁Chadalavada已经准备好开始制作Alpha Monitor了。)”可知，Chadalavada研发了Alpha Monitor来帮助监控老年痴呆症病人，因此他是有创新的头脑的。故选B。 B “Sorry, I’m just now seeing your email!” (You sent it 15 minutes ago.) “Sorry that you completely misinterpreted that thing I said.” “Sorry you just rammed into me with your grocery-store cart.” “Sorry” has become commonplace in daily conversations and communications. We drop it indiscriminately for all manner of things we really shouldn’t be sorry for. Is it time to stop? “I wasn’t really that sorry,” admits Louise Julig, a freelance writer in Encinitas, Calif., who found she was constantly apologizing for the “delay” when replying to notes, even when there wasn’t much of a delay at all. “Sorry has lost its meaning, no longer a heartfelt declaration of remorse (悔恨) but just a subconscious response,” said Louise Julig. Now, faced with a blank email, Ms. Julig asks herself, did I miss something, or mess someone else up? If the answer is no, she’s not sorry. I understand very well how she feels. When I searched my sent emails for the phrase, “Sorry for the delay,” the result was too many hits for Gmail to give me an exact count. I tried, in the course of reporting this column, to cut back on my apologies. Mostly I failed, catching myself exclaiming sorry! I apologized to the person I contacted for this piece when I called three minutes later than I was supposed to; then I apologized for only being able to meet him on the day I suggested, not the other; I even apologized in advance for any offence I might cause to him during the conversation. While apologizing too much in daily life may not have serious consequences, doing so in business, especially when you’ve actually done something wrong, is just asking for trouble — you’re giving away your power, says Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business. People are never satisfied with an apology, he adds. Exhibiting vulnerability (脆弱) only makes you look weak. Standing your ground comes with risks. You might not be liked. But he thinks it’s worth it. “You can either give in to what people want you to be, or you can decide that you are going to risk offending people. Life is about trade-offs (权衡),” he says. 5. What did Louise Julig realize at last? A. She couldn’t help but delay replying to others’ notes. B. She had a misunderstanding of the meaning of “sorry”. C. She didn’t have to say “sorry” under many circumstances. D. She often got people into trouble by delaying answering emails. 6. What does the author find difficult? A. Apologizing by making a phone call. B. Reducing the frequency of apologies. C. Stopping someone from apologizing. D. Finding out why people often apologize. 7. What does Jeffrey Pfeffer advise businessmen to do? A. To take others’ apologies seriously. B. To avoid offending people on purpose. C. To maintain power by avoiding apologizing. D. To make sincere apologies whenever necessary. 8. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Why we can gain benefits by apologizing. B. Why apologies are unnecessary in society. C. Why apologizing too much is not favored. D. Why apologizing can offend people sometimes. 【答案】5. C 6. B 7. C 8. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今人们道歉太多，形成了一种习惯的问题，作者结合路易丝·朱丽和自身的经历说明了这一问题，指出道歉应当适当运用。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段““I wasn’t really that sorry,” admits Louise Julig, a freelance writer in Encinitas, Calif., who found she was constantly apologizing for the “delay” when replying to notes, even when there wasn’t much of a delay at all. “Sorry has lost its meaning, no longer a heartfelt declaration of remorse (悔恨) but just a subconscious response,” said Louise Julig. (加州恩西尼塔斯的自由撰稿人路易丝•朱丽承认：“我其实并没有那么抱歉。”她发现自己在回复邮件时总是因为“迟到”而道歉，即使根本没有什么延迟。“对不起已经失去了它的意义，不再是发自内心的忏悔，而只是一种潜意识的反应，”路易丝·朱丽说)”可知，路易丝·朱丽最后意识到她在很多情况下都不必说“对不起”。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“I tried, in the course of reporting this column, to cut back on my apologies. Mostly I failed, catching myself exclaiming sorry! (在撰写这篇专栏文章的过程中，我试图减少道歉。大多数情况下，我都失败了，因为我发觉自己在喊对不起！)”可知，作者认为减少道歉的频率很困难。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“While apologizing too much in daily life may not have serious consequences, doing so in business, especially when you’ve actually done something wrong, is just asking for trouble — you’re giving away your power, says Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business. (斯坦福大学商学院组织行为学教授杰弗里•普费弗说，虽然在日常生活中道歉太多可能不会产生严重后果，但在商业中道歉，尤其是当你确实做错了事情的时候，只是在自找麻烦——你在放弃自己的权力)”和最后一段“People are never satisfied with an apology, he adds. Exhibiting vulnerability (脆弱) only makes you look weak. Standing your ground comes with risks. You might not be liked. But he thinks it’s worth it.(他补充说，人们永远不会满足于道歉。表现出脆弱只会让你看起来很软弱。坚持立场是有风险的。你可能不被喜欢。但他认为这是值得的)”可推知，杰弗里·普费弗建议商人通过避免道歉来维持权力。故选C。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段““Sorry” has become commonplace in daily conversations and communications. We drop it indiscriminately for all manner of things we really shouldn’t be sorry for. Is it time to stop? (“对不起”在日常对话和交流中已经司空见惯。我们不加选择地把它丢在各种各样的事情上，我们真的不应该为此感到抱歉。是时候停止了吗？)”结合文章主要说明了如今人们道歉太多，形成了一种习惯的问题，作者结合路易丝·朱丽和自身的经历说明了这一问题，指出道歉应当适当运用。由此可知，这篇文章主要讲了为什么道歉太多不受欢迎。故选C。 C Since the last ice age, humans have cleared nearly half of the earth’s forests and grasslands for agriculture. With the world population expanding, there’s ever-increasing pressure on farmland to produce not only more food but also clean energy. In places such as Yakima County, Washington, it’s created competition for space as land-hungry solar panels (板) consume available fields. Last month, the state approved plans to cover 1,700 acres of agricultural land with solar panels, fueling concerns over the long-term impacts of losing cropland. A recent study from the University of California, however, shows how farmers may soon harvest crops and energy together. One researcher, Majdi Abou Najm, explains that visible light spectrum (光谱) can be separated into blue and red light waves, and their photons (光子) have different properties. Blue ones have higher energy than red ones. While that gives blue light what is needed to generate power, it also results in higher temperatures. “From a plant angle, red photons are the efficient ones,” says Abou Najm. “They don’t make the plant feel hot.” A goal of the study is to create a new generation of solar panels. He sees potential in the organic solar cells, which come from carbon-based materials. Thin and transparent, the cells are applied like a film onto various surfaces. This new technology could be used to develop special solar panels that block blue light to generate power, while passing the red light on to crops planted directly below. These panels could also provide shade for heat-sensitive fruits during the hottest part of the day. By 2050, we’ll have two billion more people, and we’ll need more food and more energy. By maximizing the solar spectrum, “we’re making full use of an endlessly sustainable resource,” says Abou Najm. “If a technology kicks in that can develop these panels, then the sky is the limit on how efficient we can be.” 9. What problem does the first paragraph focus on? A. Losing cropland to solar panels. B. Distribution of the world population. C. Reduction in forests and grasslands. D. Competing for land between farmers. 10. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Generation of solar power. B. Hot weather increasing efficiency. C. Blue photons having higher energy. D. Separation of visible light spectrum. 11. What do we know about the organic solar cells? A. They make fruits heat-sensitive. B. They can cool down in hot days, C. They allow red light to pass through. D. They can store carbon-based materials. 12. What does Abou Najm think of the future of the new solar panels? A. Limited. B. Promising. C. Uncertain. D. Challenging. 【答案】9. A 10. C 11. C 12. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一项研究表明，可以通过开发新一代太阳能电池板来收获红色和蓝色的光波，分别满足农业和发电的需要，最大限度地利用太阳能。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“With the world population expanding, there’s ever-increasing pressure on farmland to produce not only more food but also clean energy. In places such as Yakima County, Washington, it’s created competition for space as land-hungry solar panels (板) consume available fields. Last month, the state approved plans to cover 1,700 acres of agricultural land with solar panels, fueling concerns over the long-term impacts of losing cropland.(随着世界人口的增长，农田不仅要生产更多的粮食，还要生产清洁能源，农田的压力越来越大。在华盛顿州亚基马县等地，由于需要土地的太阳能电池板消耗了可用的田地，这就造成了空间竞争。上个月，该州批准了用太阳能电池板覆盖1700英亩农田的计划，这加剧了人们对失去农田的长期影响的担忧。)”可知，第一段主要讲述了太阳能电池板占据农田，导致农田空间减少。故选A。 【10题详解】 代词指代题。that为指示代词，常用来指代上文提到的事物。根据画线词前一句“Blue ones have higher energy than red ones.(蓝色的光子比红色的光子能量高。)”可知，that指代的是蓝色光子有更高的能量，更高的能量给予了产生电所需的蓝光。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This new technology could be used to develop special solar panels that block blue light to generate power, while passing the red light on to crops planted directly below.(这项新技术可以用于开发特殊的太阳能电池板，该电池板可以阻挡蓝光发电，同时让红光传给正下方种植的作物。)”可知，这种有机太阳能电池板能够阻挡蓝光，让红光通过。故选C。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“By maximizing the solar spectrum, ‘we’re making full use of an endlessly sustainable resource,’ says Abou Najm. ‘If a technology kicks in that can develop these panels, then the sky is the limit on how efficient we can be.’(Abou Najm说，通过最大限度地利用太阳能光谱，‘我们正在充分利用无尽的可持续资源。’‘如能够开发出这些面板的果一项技术生效，那么我们的效率就是无限的。’)”可知，Abou Najm认为有机太阳能电池板能够最大限度地利用无尽的太阳能资源，让人类的效率变得无限，由此可推测出，他认为有机太阳能电池板非常有前景。故选B。 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Napping during the day is an ancient custom that is practiced worldwide. Short naps, which last from 20 to 30 minutes at the right time, can benefit vitality and overall health in countless ways. Short naps can boost mental functioning and memory, as well as improve vitality, attention and reaction time. ___13___ Because napping seems to improve creative thinking, some companies have attempted to introduce napping rooms. What’s more, it appears the brain uses nap time to process information gathered throughout the day. ___14___ A study revealed that short naps also helped people become more confident and sensible, which resulted in better focus and efficiency at work. Napping may also lead to an improved ability to learn new skills, such as a golf swing. This is because these memories or skills are strengthened in the brain during sleep. ___15___ Studies show that more consistent sleep will help lower “fight or flight” chemicals in our bodies. As a result, our blood pressure and heart rates are normalized. Napping appears to help this process for some people. ___16___ One condition associated with napping longer than 30 minutes is sleep inertia (睡后迟钝). This can harm cognitive function from several minutes up to half an hour. Long or late afternoon naps can lead to difficulties falling asleep during the night. ___17___ So, to maximize benefits while reducing risks, please keep naps short in the early afternoon to avoid sleep inertia and nighttime sleep disruptions. A. But napping can come with drawbacks as well. B. The reason for this phenomenon is mostly unknown. C. Therefore, that appears to enhance problem-solving abilities. D Short naps are also linked to increased productivity and creativity. E. Napping can also be associated with a reduced risk of heart diseases. F. Napping should not serve as an alternative for enough nighttime rest. G. Besides, for those aged 60 and up, longer naps may increase the risk for heart diseases. 【答案】13. D 14. C 15. E 16. A 17. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了适当的午睡的好处及长时间午睡的坏处。 【13题详解】 根据前文“Short naps can boost mental functioning and memory, as well as improve vitality, attention and reaction time. （短时间的午睡可以增强精神功能和记忆力，还可以提高活力、注意力和反应时间。）”提到了短时间午睡带来的好处。后文“Because napping seems to improve creative thinking, some companies have attempted to introduce napping rooms.（因为午睡似乎可以提高创造性思维，一些公司已经尝试引入午睡室。）”，主要介绍了午睡对于提高生产力以及创造力的好处。所以空处应承接前文，继续讲述午睡的好处。选项D.“Short naps are also linked to increased productivity and creativity.（午睡一会儿还能提高工作效率和创造力。）”选项中“also”一词，表示了继续讲述午睡的好处，符合题意，故选D项。 【14题详解】 根据前文“What’s more, it appears the brain uses nap time to process information gathered throughout the day. （更重要的是，大脑似乎利用午睡时间来处理一整天收集到的信息。）”介绍了午睡带给大脑的益处：大脑能利用此段时间来处理信息。所以空处应该陈述大脑这样做带来的结果是什么。选项C.“Therefore, that appears to enhance problem-solving abilities.（因此，这似乎能提高解决问题的能力。）”提到了结果是带来增强解决问题的能力，符合题意，故选C项。 【15题详解】 根据下文“Studies show that more consistent sleep will help lower “fight or flight” chemicals in our bodies. As a result, our blood pressure and heart rates are normalized. Napping appears to help this process for some people.（研究表明，更稳定的睡眠有助于降低我们体内“战斗或逃跑”的化学物质。因此，我们的血压和心率是正常的。对一些人来说，午睡似乎有助于这个过程。）”提到了午睡对血压和心率的好处。因此作为段落的首句，应该起总结描述作用，讲述午睡对身体健康包括血压和心率的好处。选项E.“Napping can also be associated with a reduced risk of heart diseases.（午睡还可以降低患心脏病的风险。）”符合题意，故选E项。 【16题详解】 根据下文“One condition associated with napping longer than 30 minutes is sleep inertia ( 睡后迟钝 ). This can harm cognitive function from several minutes up to half an hour.（午睡时间超过30分钟的一个症状是睡后迟钝。这会对认知功能造成几分钟到半小时的损害。）”提到了长时间午睡带来的害处。所以可推知，空处应该介绍午睡的缺点。选项A.“But napping can come with drawbacks as well.（但午睡也有缺点。）”符合题意，故选A项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“This can harm cognitive function from several minutes up to half an hour. Long or late afternoon naps can lead to difficulties falling asleep during the night.（这会对认知功能造成几分钟到半小时的损害。午睡时间过长或时间过晚会导致夜间难以入睡。）”介绍了午睡时间长的坏处，因此，作为段落的结尾，应承接前文，讲述午睡的坏处。选项G.“Besides, for those aged 60 and up, longer naps may increase the risk for heart diseases.（此外，对于60岁及以上的人来说，午睡时间过长可能会增加患心脏病的风险。）”提到了午睡时间长带给老人的危害，符合题意，故选G项。 第三部分语言知识运用(共三节,满分37.5分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 2008, Calvin Lowe's four-year-old son Tyler needed to have a serious surgery.

Her warm smile and gentle behavior made her stand out among the sea of teachers.

One day, after class, Ms Lau approached Alex with excitement shining in her eyes. “Alex, I have an offer for you,” she said, her voice filled with enthusiasm. “I am organizing a cultural exchange program to China, and I believe it would be a great opportunity for you to explore a new world.” Alex’s heart skipped a beat, the prospect of traveling to a foreign country both exciting and terrifying. He hesitated, unsure if he had the courage to start such an adventure. But Ms Lau’s firm belief in him gave him the push he needed to take a leap of faith. Under Ms Lau’s guidance, Alex began preparing for the trip. He got really interested in Chinese culture and learned about its long history and traditions. Ms Lau became his mentor(导师), teaching him not only the language but also invaluable life lessons. She taught him the importance of being confident and not giving up, reminding him that growth only happens outside one’s comfort zone. The day of departure arrived, and Alex found himself on a plane headed for China. He couldn’t help but feel amazed as he stepped off the plane and into a world so different from his own.

Most similar devices run on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so when a person moves out of their frequencies’ limited range the connection is lost and with it the monitoring. But the Alpha Monitor can detect a person more than a mile away in cities and three miles in the countryside thanks to the long-range technology, known as LoRa, it uses. Teaching himself with YouTube videos about robotics and electronics, Chadalavada has developed several prototypes (模型). To understand the needs of people with Alzheimer’s, he spent time in a day centre run by the Alzheimer’s and Related Disorders Society of India. There, the cofounder told him that the device “had to be something light that can be worn on any part of the body”. She says: “Many patients don’t like having to wear a watch and they take it off.” In March, when Chadalavada’s school exams are over, he will put the finishing touches to the monitor, with the aim of getting the device ready for market by September. He is confident that it should be sold at an affordable price for most people. Chadalavada hopes to study robotics at a university abroad. His aim is simple: “I want to create products to help people in India for the whole world.” 1. Why did Chadalavada invent the Alpha Monitor? A. To treat Alzheimer’s. B. To entertain senior citizens. C. To improve Alzheimer’s caregiving. D. To ensure fire safety at the elderly’s homes. 2. What is an advantage of the Alpha Monitor? A. It is more comfortable to wear. B. It has a longer service time. C. It offers a remoter monitoring. D. It uses higher frequency controls. 3. What did Chadalavada want to explore while he spent time in a day centre? A. Where his invention could be polished. B. What people with Alzheimer’s felt like. C. How Alzheimer’s disease could be cured. D. Whether his invention would be profitable. 4. What can we learn about Chadalavada from the text? A. He enjoys living simply. B. He has an innovative mind. C. He used to be a health worker. D. He longs to be a robotics professor. B “Sorry, I’m just now seeing your email!” (You sent it 15 minutes ago.) “Sorry that you completely misinterpreted that thing I said.” “Sorry you just rammed into me with your grocery-store cart.” “Sorry” has become commonplace in daily conversations and communications. We drop it indiscriminately for all manner of things we really shouldn’t be sorry for. Is it time to stop? “I wasn’t really that sorry,” admits Louise Julig, a freelance writer in Encinitas, Calif., who found she was constantly apologizing for the “delay” when replying to notes, even when there wasn’t much of a delay at all. “Sorry has lost its meaning, no longer a heartfelt declaration of remorse (悔恨) but just a subconscious response,” said Louise Julig. Now, faced with a blank email, Ms. Julig asks herself, did I miss something, or mess someone else up? If the answer is no, she’s not sorry. I understand very well how she feels. When I searched my sent emails for the phrase “Sorry for the delay,” the result was too many hits for Gmail to give me an exact count. I tried, in the course of reporting this column, to cut back on my apologies. Mostly I failed, catching myself exclaiming sorry! I apologized to the person I contacted for this piece when I called three minutes later than I was supposed to; then I apologized for only being able to meet him on the day I suggested, not the other; I even apologized in advance for any offence I might cause to him during the conversation. While apologizing too much in daily life may not have serious consequences, doing so in business, especially when you’ve actually done something wrong, is just asking for trouble — you’re giving away your power, says Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business. People are never satisfied with an apology, he adds. Exhibiting vulnerability (脆弱) only makes you look weak. Standing your ground comes with risks. You might not be liked. But he thinks it’s worth it. “You can either give in to what people want you to be, or you can decide that you are going to risk offending people. Life is about trade-offs (权衡),” he says. 5. What did Louise Julig realize at last? A. She couldn’t help but delay replying to others’ notes. B. She had a misunderstanding of the meaning of “sorry”. C. She didn’t have to say “sorry” under many circumstances. D. She often got people into trouble by delaying answering emails. 6. What does the author find difficult? A. Apologizing by making a phone call. B. Reducing the frequency of apologies. C. Stopping someone from apologizing. D. Finding out why people often apologize. 7. What does Jeffrey Pfeffer advise businessmen to do? A. To take others’ apologies seriously. B. To avoid offending people on purpose. C. To maintain power by avoiding apologizing. D. To make sincere apologies whenever necessary. 8. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Why we can gain benefits by apologizing. B. Why apologies are unnecessary in society. C. Why apologizing too much is not favored. D. Why apologizing can offend people sometimes. C Since the last ice age, humans have cleared nearly half of the earth’s forests and grasslands for agriculture. With the world population expanding, there’s ever-increasing pressure on farmland to produce not only more food but also clean energy. In places such as Yakima County, Washington, it’s created competition for space as land-hungry solar panels (板) consume available fields. Last month, the state approved plans to cover 1,700 acres of agricultural land with solar panels, fueling concerns over the long-term impacts of losing cropland. A recent study from the University of California, however, shows how farmers may soon harvest crops and energy together. One researcher, Majdi Abou Najm, explains that visible light spectrum (光谱) can be separated into blue and red light waves, and their photons (光子) have different properties. Blue ones have higher energy than red ones. While that gives blue light what is needed to generate power, it also results in higher temperatures. “From a plant angle, red photons are the efficient ones,” says Abou Najm. “They don’t make the plant feel hot.” A goal of the study is to create a new generation of solar panels. He sees potential in the organic solar cells, which come from carbon-based materials. Thin and transparent, the cells are applied like a film onto various surfaces. This new technology could be used to develop special solar panels that block blue light to generate power, while passing the red light on to crops planted directly below. These panels could also provide shade for heat-sensitive fruits during the hottest part of the day. By 2050, we’ll have two billion more people, and we’ll need more food and more energy. By maximizing the solar spectrum, “we’re making full use of an endlessly sustainable resource,” says Abou Najm. “If a technology kicks in that can develop these panels, then the sky is the limit on how efficient we can be.” 9. What problem does the first paragraph focus on? A. Losing cropland to solar panels. B. Distribution of the world population. C. Reduction in forests and grasslands. D. Competing for land between farmers. 10. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Generation of solar power. B. Hot weather increasing efficiency. C. Blue photons having higher energy. D. Separation of visible light spectrum. 11. What do we know about the organic solar cells? A. They make fruits heat-sensitive. B. They can cool down in hot days, C. They allow red light to pass through. D. They can store carbon-based materials. 12. What does Abou Najm think of the future of the new solar panels? A. Limited. B. Promising. C. Uncertain. D. Challenging. 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Napping during the day is an ancient custom that is practiced worldwide. Short naps, which last from 20 to 30 minutes at the right time, can benefit vitality and overall health in countless ways. Short naps can boost mental functioning and memory, as well as improve vitality, attention and reaction time. ___13___ Because napping seems to improve creative thinking, some companies have attempted to introduce napping rooms. What’s more, it appears the brain uses nap time to process information gathered throughout the day. ___14___ A study revealed that short naps also helped people become more confident and sensible, which resulted in better focus and efficiency at work. Napping may also lead to an improved ability to learn new skills, such as a golf swing. This is because these memories or skills are strengthened in the brain during sleep. ___15___ Studies show that more consistent sleep will help lower “fight or flight” chemicals in our bodies. As a result, our blood pressure and heart rates are normalized. Napping appears to help this process for some people. ___16___ One condition associated with napping longer than 30 minutes is sleep inertia (睡后迟钝). This can harm cognitive function from several minutes up to half an hour. Long or late afternoon naps can lead to difficulties falling asleep during the night. ___17___ So, to maximize benefits while reducing risks, please keep naps short in the early afternoon to avoid sleep inertia and nighttime sleep disruptions. A. But napping can come with drawbacks as well. B. The reason for this phenomenon is mostly unknown. C. Therefore, that appears to enhance problem-solving abilities. D. Short naps are also linked to increased productivity and creativity. E. Napping can also be associated with a reduced risk of heart diseases.

As a shy and unnoticed student, he felt like a lone wolf, struggling against the complexities of high school life. Ms Lau, his Chinese teacher, was a light in his otherwise dark world. Her warm smile and gentle behavior made her stand out among the sea of teachers. She was the only one who seemed to understand his conservative nature, always encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone. One day, after class, Ms Lau approached Alex with excitement shining in her eyes. “Alex, I have an offer for you,” she said, her voice filled with enthusiasm. “I am organizing a cultural exchange program to China, and I believe it would be a great opportunity for you to explore a new world.” Alex’s heart skipped a beat, the prospect of traveling to a foreign country both exciting and terrifying. He hesitated, unsure if he had the courage to start such an adventure. But Ms Lau’s firm belief in him gave him the push he needed to take a leap of faith. Under Ms Lau’s guidance, Alex began preparing for the trip. He got really interested in Chinese culture and learned about its long history and traditions. Ms Lau became his mentor(导师), teaching him not only the language but also invaluable life lessons. She taught him the importance of being confident and not giving up, reminding him that growth only happens outside one’s comfort zone. The day of departure arrived, and Alex found himself on a plane headed for China. He couldn’t help but feel amazed as he stepped off the plane and into a world so different from his own. The busy streets, bright colors, and unfamiliar sounds flooded his senses.
